Hi,
We would say it the same way as the Italians, with the O’s rhyming with the o in “got” not the o in “goat”. Although that “o”, you guys pronounce more like an “a”.
Compare how the Americans say it with the way the Italians say it here: watch?v=cccY6Q4Salo
or here: watch?v=EgX3_3JYDFk
I guess it’s just what you are used to… It just sounds weird (and annoying) to us non-Americans. Maybe it’s just a “pet peeve” of mine! So is the way you guys say basil – “bayzul”
Looks tasty by the way.
That looks delicious! You are a great cook!
Never cooked much before in my life. Used this video as a guide to cook this dish and it turned out spectacular!!
Thanks Keith!
mission accomplished!
Excellent…
thanks
Keith
Hi Keith,
Your recipe for this episode is to tempting and delicious.However, could i ask you a question? I would like to try out this recipe but is there any alternative ingredient to use other than pouring dry wine inside the risotto? I cannot consume anything with alcohol. It will be so helpfull if you are able to suggest me any alternative ingredient for dry white wine!
Thank you so much,
TheNoobilahxoxo.
Well you could omit the wine all together and it would still be great….
The wine flavor could also be reproduced by adding sparkling or white grape juice..keep in mind it is sweet so don’t add too much, stir in 1 tsp, then taste and continue adding until it tastes ok…
Best,
Keith

riz-o-tto is how i prenounce it =] The americans do have some bad prenounciations especially with ‘erbs’ but it’s not your fault lol
approx how long of the stirring is it until the rice is cooked
should we add the wine near the end or the beginning?
begining after you blast the rice
im at 2:30 and i can alredy see that he doesnt have any idea what hes doing
i don’t think you really know what you’re talking about
he sais “all about the technique” then he goes and uses the complete oposite of the risotto method.
1. you add the vegetation at the end of the risotto
2.he is caramalizing the vegetation, in a risotto you only sweat the vegies.
3.he added wine after cooking the rice as aposed to before puting the broth in it like your suposed to so that it doesnt taste like alcoholl.
do you need any more proof?
1. your second point shows that your first point must be untrue. how can you sweat the vegetables if you only add them at the end? if you added them at the end, you could only dump in raw vegetables and let them cook in the risotto, which is not what sweating is. it’s not a hard and fast rule that you need to add vegetables at the end or in the beginning. but i think most chefs add at least aromatic vegetables (garlic/onions/etc) at the beginning because it lets the
flavor emanate through the whole dish.
2. he says in the beginning that he is showing you a new way to plate the risotto. that should immediately signal that he knows he is doing something unusual, and it’s intentional. so your claim that he “doesn’t know what he is doing” is false. and furthermore, i’m not convinced that its a rule to not caramelize. what study have you conducted, or expertise do you hold that lets you dismiss any other method as wrong?
3. you’re right about the wine. i think most chefs add it in the beginning, and i would to, because the alcohol will burn off faster and the flavor will mingle with the rest of the dish. but that is the only real mistake i count in this video.
and 4. none of what you said really has to do with what chefs consider the “risotto method” anyway. the method is merely sauteeing the rice in a fat for a while, and then gradually adding a hot stock to the rice and continually stir.
anything else is up to the discretion of the chef in terms of how he wants to make the dish.
cooking is not about right and wrong. it’s a process. just because someone does something differently from how you do it does not mean it’s wrong, and it certainly doesn’t mean he “doesn’t know what he’s doing.”
thank you for pointing out my mistake let me rephrase it so tis more clear.
you are to sweat the garlic and onions at the beginging and add the chunky, bigger veggies at the end be it asparugus or mushrooms or peas or what have you.
Looks good!
Only suggestions I would make for my personal preference:
carnaroli or vialone nano rice over arborio.
Add the wine just after the tostatura.
Add the cheese together with the butter during the mantecatura.
Season only after adding butter and cheese.
Also I would have added some of the mushrooms during cooking to let the rice absorb the mushroom flavour.
Just a suggestion.. either way the final product looks great!
@antonc81 he doesn’t need your suggestions. Didn’t you hear him? He’s a gourmet chef!
love risotto. i have a lot of canned tomato puree, diced tomatos, tomato paste etc that i need to use up but cant find any recipes. any recommendations using this stuff for risotto?
I swear risotto is one of those dishes you can put damn near anything in it and people will like it. One of my favorites to make is mushrooms, thin sliced chicken and some diced pepperoni.
@bradyischamp put the diced tomatoes through a blender, and leave some solid untouched. after you saute the onions and rice,put in the paste. instead of adding stock, add the pureed tomatoes(you can reduce it by boiling if you want a more concentrated tomato taste). adjust the level of the tomatoes and stock accoridng to your taste. and add a bit of wine everytime u add tomatoes in there, alcohol will help unlock some of the alcohol soluable flavors of tomatoes.
looks awesome. Can’t wait to try it out.
The wine should be added before the stock is added. Wine should be the first liquid to hit the rice to cook off the alcohol followed by the stock.
